"GitHub CEO Nat Friedman wrote in an internal letter on Tuesday that the company plans to renew a contract worth $200,000 with ICE to license its GitHub Enterprise Server — an amount that Friedman called 'not financially material' for the company."

This reminds me of IBM supplying the Nazis with admin systems that helped them murder millions of people. Am I the only one?

@micahflee gave a great talk about practical defenses against #technofascism, with solid recommendations against #surveillance – especially in times when pretty much everyone becomes an at-risk user.

This draft debate piece examines #technofascism and its domineering configurations of power, while advancing resistance through the proposed strategic intervention of “algorithmic sabotage”. @asrg
As a modality of necropolitical domination—one that embodies the death-inflicting politics of colonialism—technofascism is predicated on the acceleration of an entrenched polycrisis, and is oriented toward expanding the influence, power, and wealth of the techno-oligarchy while systematically neutralising opposition to its hegemony. Its constitutive architecture lies in the centrality of technological development itself to an anti-democratic, repressive, neo-imperial, eugenic, hyper-capitalist, and extractive paradigm—one that not only exacerbates the unsustainable status quo but also forecloses alternative futures, locking societies into pathways of radical dispossession and collective disintegration.

Damn, y’all, I’d have expected better from a trillion-dollar People Farmer that’s helping Israel commit genocide in Palestine…
Maybe we should talk to their Chief Ethics Officer or something?

Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don’t regulate a malignant tumour. You cut it out, with enough of a surgical margin to ensure you get every last putrid bit to avoid regrowth.
(This is moot, of course, as we’re not even regulating Big Tech, we’re feeding it with subsidies, government contracts, and access to national healthcare and other sensitive data while the folks who should be regulating them eye their next lucrative gig beyond the revolving doors of their lobbies.)

For me there is a striking resemblance between humans trying to do social manipulation and p53 protein theme.
Like carcinogenic viruses, perversion, indoctrination and other problems, people who do power abuses need to fight against safeguards
P53 is often one of the first safeguard with harmful mutation in cancers..

The most thought provoking article I have read this week:
A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.
So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.
In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.
In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.

Isn't this a well known practice? Isn't Tesla doing the same with OTA sw updates, performance monitoring et.c. of the vehicles they manufacture?
But, I guess, we are all conditioned to see #US #technofascism as more acceptable, for some reason.
"You know how right now, while the government is shut down and food stamps for millions of Americans are set to expire one week from now, Trump is tearing down the East Wing of the White House to build himself a privately funded ballroom? Some of the companies who are funding Trump’s ballroom include: Amazon, Apple, Coinbase, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.
This talk mostly isn’t about reactionary tech billionaires and their complicit companies. Instead, it’s about attacks that we should be prepared for during this Age of Technofascism, and ways we can defend against them.
In this talk, I’m going to try to give some specific, actionable advise about three three topics: mercenary spyware, device searches, and app censorship.
But don’t think of this as a checklist that all you have to do is finish and then you’re good. Ultimately, what we all need to do, is build an intentional and forgiving security culture. These are things to talk over with your friends, colleagues, and family members as shared practices.
Fascists are targeting everyone outside their in-group. If we want to keep our communities safe, our defenses need to be collective, not individual."
